It's strong, thin as thread, and great for emergency repairs. It's also nonmetallic, so you can stitch a few lengths into your clothing without worrying about metal detectors. I keep some sewn into my hiking pants because there are a lot of backwoods-type things that a really strong string is useful for.KD5NRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169457396389789270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-86228619419471932902010-01-17T10:09:23.848-06:002010-01-17T10:09:23.848-06:00Whenever I'm flying, I wear my Wilderness Tact...Whenever I'm flying, I wear my Wilderness Tactical Instructor Belt: http://store.thewilderness.com/product_info.php?cPath=43&products_id=2007<br /><br />I've never had anyone give me grief about it and have no doubts that it would make an effective weapon if God forbid, it was needed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943276206604778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-42737767163106396552010-01-11T13:00:53.706-06:002010-01-11T13:00:53.706-06:00I'm also one of the heavy duty mechanical penc...I'm also one of the heavy duty mechanical pencil types.<br /><br />Regardless, I told the misses that I wouldn't mind one of the "eco-nuts" for my birthday.Mark Horninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079931981472939913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-66954126366159255752010-01-10T14:14:43.152-06:002010-01-10T14:14:43.152-06:00JohnB:

I had been the student in a 45 minute disertation on how to use the contents of my knitting bag for assorted mayhem. <br /><br />The TSA screener was (from tattos and haircut) a retired Marine.

He must either successfully detonate a chemical explosive without the benefit of a "proper" detonator, or carve his way to the flight-deck through a hardened door.<br /><br />Therefore, the simplest thing you can bring to the fight is the mindset - if I don't stop this guy, as fast and as thoroughly as I can, then we're all dead.<br /><br />Things like these MonkeyKnut things are lovely, in that they're ready-formed, but Dr. Dog's School of Mayhem is even more useful, because it teaches one to shape tools out of available materials - and hopefully to keep trying when the soda can bursts, the tango ducks and the well-meaning flight attendant tries to "calm the fighting passengers".Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730143528740977761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-6106823345063484062010-01-03T13:48:59.670-06:002010-01-03T13:48:59.670-06:00not having flown in over 10 years, do they still a...not having flown in over 10 years, do they still allow 2AA maglite style lights on aircraft?
